* Manoomin - Wild Rice *
the food that grows on water
Manoomin (wild rice) is a culturally significant resource and part of Ojibwe identity. The Ojibwe migration story talks about moving from the east until finding "the food that grows on water." Manoomin is a being, a relative, and a sacred gift that must be protected. Manoomin is an important part of stories and ceremonies, and continues to be a healthy and natural food source today.
